Happy Earth Day! Born in 1970 and celebrated by over a billion people around the world (really!), this eco-friendly occasion has helped raise awareness of the importance of protecting our one and only home, Mother Earth. But you don’t have to take to the street with signs about global warming to participate in today’s festivities–you can celebrate the Earth in a sweeter way. From cake pops to ice cream cones, these desserts are the perfect finale to a day of eating locally and sustainably, recycling responsibly, and treating Mother Earth with the respect she deserves.–Marilyn He
